    "No obs for Lat cd be obtained + Long of C.Belsham being only approx'tly known to us, allow 1minute+4sec more slow =11 min 55sec slow"

    We take that to mean cloudy, but as you have continued to astound us, I will leave any interpretation of that to you!!

    Why was Worsley unable to determine latitide on the day the Caird departed? Was it because the Sun and horizon were clear for the morning sight but not for as noon sight? Or was it because Cape Belsham obstructed the horizon? Google Earth suggests that Cape Belsham would not have obstructed a noon sight.
